My Very Last Poem

When the night wind blows 
And I quietly sit alone 
While the television hums in the background 
Words come to me

Sad words of longing 
And poetry that speaks of tenderness 
I want to remember happier times 
Your smiling face filled with laughter 
That echo from places 
Now so far, far away

Especially the sound of your voice 
That I have dearly loved 
And committed to memory 
A voice you now share with others

So with these words 
In this ungodly morning hour 
I write my last poem 
To you
